All right.
Well, the defending champs, the Boston Celtics have selected Baylor Shireman as their 30th pick in the NBA draft Shireman out of Creighton good wing player, 66, good size, but known for his shooting ability, which all of us have liked here today, we, I feel like we give a lot of love to shooters on this show.
KP.
Overall thoughts.
Listen, I love that he has been so patient throughout the entire dra process.
This is a player who has tested the NBA Waters, the predraft process.
Two years now, 1/5 year senior, he's taken the feedback from teams and it's paid off.
He's a first round pick and he's going to a championship team as a shooter.
And when we saw him at the NBA draft combine, he was by far the best shooter on the court in the five on five scrimmages and made a very strong statement to everyone there watching that.
No, I can play in the NBA.
My game translate.
I listen to your feedback and I'm ready to go a mature player.
He'll be 25 by the time the draft.
But by the time he's, you know, on the team.
Yeah, start of next season.
He's gonna be, you know, 24 years old and when you talk about fit, I mean, perfect landing spot for him.
He is one of the best three point shooters in the draft landed with the team that was most high volume three point shooting champion in, in NBA history.
So they like to play that five out system.
He's gonna love playing in Joe Mazzola's system.
The skill is not enough to play for Boston.
You have to be smart.
The IQ has to be there.
Joe Mazzulla gives them a lot of freedom.
It's a read and react offense in a lot of ways.
They'll play five out, even if they dip one person in, you're reading, you're reading off the dribble, reading off the drives and he can do that.
So no press could.
Boston have made a bad pick.
Like, really?
I mean, they had a chance as long as they return their, their main core cast of characters, they should be the favorites going into the next season.
Bad news for the rest of the league.
They added, they added another shooter to their roster, but a huge congratulations to Baylor Shaman on going 30th with the Celtics.
